John Kline Named “Guardian of Small Business” by National Federation of Independent Business

BURNSVILLE – The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) is the latest organization to give its backing to Congressman John Kline’s re-election campaign. NFIB this week named John Kline a “Guardian of Small Business” for his “strong small business voting record” in the 110th Congress.

“Small businesses are responsible for creating 80 percent of American jobs and they are truly one of the greatest engines of the U.S. economy,” Congressman Kline said. “I am proud to be a stalwart supporter of policies that advance job creation and economic growth.”

In addition to being a “Guardian of Small Business,” John Kline has been honored by numerous organizations for his continued support of small businesses. He received the Small Business Champion Award from the Small Business & Entrepreneurial Council for voting on issues important to entrepreneurs and the small business community. He is an annual recipient of the “Spirit of Enterprise” award issued by the National Chamber of Commerce for his continued support of pro-growth legislation.
